Pricing stock options by using the binomial lattice method still poses a significant challenge in the finance literature. This is particularly true for the bivariate binomial lattice method that simultaneously allows for stock prices and interest rates to be stochastic. This article introduces a more efficient bivariate binomial lattice method to price stock options. The proposed approach simply replaces the drift term of the stock price process by the integration of the forward rate curve over the horizon of the option's maturity. The numerical simulation studies as well as the theoretical justification show that the option prices computed by the proposed lattice approach can effectively and accurately converge.
